Toronto at Brooklyn

Toronto is very lucky to have even won a game in this series. They have utilized a strong home-court and even with that barely squeaked by in two games. The problem is that this team has no playoff experience and as well as they play at home, the road is a whole different story. Toronto is now 17-26 on the road. They have exactly two wins on the road this season vs. teams that are still playing! They also have 10 double-digit road losses against teams still playing and that includes coming no closer than 10 points against NJ. They are 2-13 vs. teams still playing all together. Tonight they will at the very least be playing with two injured key players in Calderon and Ford, and it is possible that either one or both will be out completely. The Nets have gotten hot at the right time, and the trio of Carter, Jefferson and Kidd has been more than Toronto can handle. Kidd is averaging a triple-double and Carter is stepping up big, as is Jefferson. New Jersey does not want to extend the series, and roll the dice by going back to Toronto, they are going to put them away here, and we expect them to do it early. We look for NJ to come away with a comfortable double-digit win in this one.
